BROTHER ALI

Think It Through Lyrics

[Verse 1:]Attack fame with cerebral cortex in your brainsSo my effects will remainLong after the trends changeSon I'll bend your nameRearrange your moleculesAmongst hip hop dudes, Brother Ali be droppin' jewelsImpossible to fool I'm like Picasso with the toolA fossil, old school rapper passing all the rulesNever hostile to your crew but colossal with my movesWhen my face is in the place y'all start droppin that stoolI did a lot in schools and that three years are coolBut known as about a Muslim MCSuper-duper Brother AliIs rockin' goofies and loose jeansThe last years ??, dogin' duce duce teamsWho seem to wanna wet me cause they girlfriends sweat meFor the way I interact with my peers, they respect meBecause I respect themAnd let them speak the peace and get my two cents inMy conversation was deep back then

[Hook: x4]{"Take these words home and think it through"}{"Greater mission, I hope that you're listening"}

[Verse 2:]Brother Ali sign the dotted lineOn the architectural design in your mindAnd redesign your outlineI shout rhymes through a dynamic micAutomatic hype and if I'm slammin rightChange the way you look at your lifeAnd all you can say is Ali came to shook it tonightAnd just stand back shake your head and look at the sightAnd now my soul can breathe a sigh of reliefFor squashing all prior beef cause don't nobody wanna die on the streetsRely on the beats to save ya, you'll never get helpGet a chance to go for selfAnd what you do? Go for selfI got a wealth of wisdomSo I skip the player themesInstead I'm aiming off the hot sense of your brain with laser beamsMy ways and means have always produced amazing scenesNot like the phony fellas, come at you fake like MaybelineBut got major creamWhenever I, label jeansBut when I get up in your brain I reawaken your dreamsKnow what I mean?

[Hook: x4]{"Take these words home and think it through"}{"Greater mission, I hope that you're listening"}

[Verse 3:]I've got a mission to add traditions to the inscriptions on your cognitionsSupervising with provisionsYou wouldn't understand why Ali is hereBut when the student is prepared the teacher appearsAnd I've been speaking for years of passage you got that?You still tryin' to understand the metaphor for where hip-hop atHave you ever thought that every time you listen to a trackThat's four minutes of your life that you can never get back?And that's a hell of an investmentSo when MC's blessingWe gotta think very hard about the messageI ain't tryin' to hear about you sippin Crystal in the BahamasWhen I'm drinkin Nestle Quik on a crowed bus full of maecenasAnd give us appetite to check by knowledgeI'm starving for Versace but you never mention collegeSo I'm supposed to get it and be a rap star like youHow many of us can do that for real? Very fewIf I sell drugs, or die, or go to jail, or go to hell either wayIf you keepin' it real how come there's no truth to what you say?Remember this, we make rap stars rich and company's even richerI aim for your brain until you get the picture
